However, your blocks do work for me, in companion.

thanks. had that initially but modified for trouble shooting.
This used to work for me on a different phone.
tried it both in companion and apk.
no joy
thinking some quirk with this phone

Activity starter has no roll here?

None that I am aware of.

You may need to confirm that your TextToSpeech and SpeechToText is set up correctly on your device.

TextToSpeech works. no idea how to set up speech to text. I use it when texting so i know it is available

microphone permission is set for app
